2009 Chrysler 300 4-door SRT8 Sedan

Who says you have to be filthy rich to enjoy the finer things in life? From our standpoint, you need only about $50,000 and a driver's license. Those two commodities will put you behind the wheel of a 2008 Chrysler 300C SRT8, arguably the most potent performance sedan ever to leave a domestic factory's doors. Developed by Chrysler's in-house Street and Racing Technology team, the 300C SRT8 takes all that is good about the stock 300C and ratchets it up to the top of the scale. Big, bold and in-your-face, the 300C SRT8 has the HEMI power, performance and panache to break up the European sport-sedan monopoly, and does it for tens of thousands less.

If you crave a flashy, high-performance sport sedan, but price and practicality consistently stop you cold in your tracks, the 2009 Chrysler 300C SRT8 is the answer to your dreams. Its powerful V8 engine and sport suspension easily out-perform many so-called sport coupes, and it can comfortably accommodate five adults.	The Chrysler 300C SRT8 sells for considerably more than the stock 300C, and some drivers may find its thickly-bolstered sport bucket seats to be confining. If you're looking for a nice balance between performance and comfort, save yourself the $8,000 premium and buy the 300C or look to Pontiac's new G8.

Major changes for 2009 include a new mesh grille and new exterior color choices. New standard features include a power sun roof, uconnect tunes and revisions to the car's suspension and brakes. A slight increase in fuel economy helps lessen the gas guzzler tax.
